Sullivan's Argumentative Analysis

President Lincoln proposed a lenient plan to bring the defeated Confederate states to join the Union, which was known as the Ten Percent Plan. He believed that being more lenient to Confederate states would convince them to surrender sooner, and would speed up the healing process, which he thought was needed for a solid reconstruction of the Union. The plan consisted of forgiving all Southerners, except the high-ranking officers and officials, who would pledge loyalty to the Union, and as soon as 10% of the state’s voters would pledge oath to the Union, the state could call a convention and as a result could form a government and apply for federal recognition.

Two Latinas and a baby were stopped by security while grocery shopping, because another shopper accused the dark-skinned women of kidnapping the fair-skinned, blue-eyed, blonde baby accompanying them. It was not until the fair-skinned, blue-eyed, blonde father of the baby refuted the accusation, that the women were released. My mother (who is from El Salvador) and my nanny (who is from Belize) were the two women and I was the baby. My mom and nanny would not have been publicly incriminated and shamed, were they fair-skinned. McIntosh’s article substantiates the ubiquity of white privilege. White people do not have to worry about being monitored while running errands or being pulled over because of their skin color. I agree with McIntosh’s point

There had always been differences between the northern states and southern states before nullification and secession. This came down to differences in the core drivers of their economies. The south was more oriented towards Agriculture while the north was driven by industrialization. What this meant was that the south was more reserved on the consistent calls by abolitionists in the north. Abolition of slave trade would mean an almost complete collapse of the economy in the South.

For issue 1.4 the discussion explored the question of whether or not sexual problems should be treated pharmaceutically. Connie Newman advocated for pharmaceutical treatment while Anita Hoffer argued against. Connie Newman presented her argument with various research, referring to the DSM to support her argument that sexual problems were not only a psychological but also physiological problem. She also laid out a comprehensive timeline demonstrating how the sexual problems have been viewed and treated over the years, progressing from purely a psychological based treatment to VIAGRA being an accepted method of treatment for male patients with erectile dysfunction (McKee, 2013, p. 51). However she did recognize that treatments for women had not

The civil war did reduce sectional antagonist a huge amount but it also made the United states One Nation. The war was a test for the nation or in this case ANY nation for those dedicated to see if they could endure and a final resting place for those who died and for the nation to live. There was division between the north and the south which eventually brought upon the Brutal Civil War. In president Andrew John’s Amnesty proclamation, the Union forgave the confederate and made them swear on an oath to faithfully support, protect, and defend the constitution of the United States. “The union eventually showed that they had no “antagonist” against the south which made the United States One nation once again. The soldiers that risked their lives

In 2011, Jennifer Connell was attending her nephew, Sean, 8th birthday party, Connell walks into the backyard and upon seeing his aunt, Sean runs and jumps to hug her. Causing Connell to fall backwards landing on the ground and breaking her wrist in the process. Instead of doing something rash, like, accepting he is eight and it was an accident since the laws of physics are not clear to him yet, she did the rational thing. She filed a lawsuit - against the nephew. She claimed that the nephew had been "careless" and wanted $127,000 for emotional suffering and medical bills. In her claim she stated that she had recently attended a party and her inability to hold her "hors d'oeuvres plate was distressing and embarrassing. Deliberation lasted a mere twenty minutes. The jury awarded Jennifer Connell nothing.

Butler finished last season with seven tackles for a loss and three sacks. With the departures of Caleb Azubike and Stephen Weatherly, that makes him the second highest returning Commodore behind only Zach Cunningham.

Ever since the beginning, slavery has always been a growing conflict in the United States. However in the 1800s, it became such a problem that it nearly separated the whole country. Those that lived in southern states believed that they had the rights to own slaves. They argued that the slavery made up a fairly large part of their economy because slaves labor was cheap. This is why many of the big time planters were rich. Also, they felt African Americans were unfit to survive on their own. Northern citizens felt that there was no need for slavery and that it was wrong. But who is right regarding this situation. It all depends on the individual. The back and forth arguing between the north and south was intense, neither backing down from the

Marriage between two people doesn’t always have to be a woman and a man of the same race or religion. Throughout the years, there has been many newlyweds of different religions, race, and/or gender, but with these differences, the newlyweds still loved each other and got married no matter what anyone has said. Marriage has been shown throughout television, movies, stories and plays as well. One married couple that had a distinctive relationship was, Stef and Lena Adams Foster on the television show, The Fosters. Stef and Lena Adams Foster’s relationship is a very diverse one. Not only they are both women, but they are also interacial as well. Within the show, Stef and Lena Adams Foster’s relationship has dealt with many conflicts from people

You are born into this world to a society already sure of what they want. You are taught the ways of your family and they learn from their community. If your family doesn’t like a certain type of person, chances are you’re going to grow up with the same dislike of that person. Leaders of a community get their votes by doing, saying, or promising things to the community that they will enjoy to win the votes. These leaders may never agree with what they're saying but they’ll do whatever it takes to make the nation happy. Segregation, a time where people actually believed it was okay to separate people from a community because of their skin color. But the time of segregation was more than just separating minorities from the white community. People took it upon themselves to put the law in their own hands and treat minorities very poorly. Public lynchings, brutal beatings, and vulgar words could be spit at a colored person and nobody would bat an eye. That was then though, and this is now. We don’t separate anymore, we don’t treat people unjustly, nor judge someone based upon

In the year of 1890 the Bureau of the Census proclaimed that the frontier was officially closed. For many people finding out that the Golden West was no longer an achievable dream it put many people into a state of depression. A historian of this time named Frederick Jackson Turner, about how important the Frontier was in American history, it was published in the year of 1894 under the title of “The Significance of the Frontier in American History” (282). His argument was that the expansion of the New World was much different from the development of the Old World because “the existence of an area of free land, its continuous recession, and the advance of American settlement westward” (282). Also that the frontier made it possible of the

William Stacy, a middle aged man in Salem Town, testified that Bishop had previously made statements to him that other people in the town considered her to be a witch. He confronted her with the allegation that she was using witchcraft to torment him, which she denied. Another local man, Samuel Shattuck, accused Bishop of bewitching his child and also of striking his son with a spade. He also testified that Bishop asked him to dye lace, which apparently was too small to be used on anything but a poppet -- that is, a doll used in spell-casting. John and William Bly, father and son, testified about finding poppets in Bishop's house and also about their cat that appeared to be bewitched, or poisoned, after a dispute with Bishop. Other victims

Throughout his piece, King facilitates emotional appeals to convince and strengthen his argument, as well as building it. His introductory sections stirs towards the emotions of his audiences, and full of emotionally-charged experiences why to “wait” for racial segregation to end is difficult and “unwise” for black people. By urging the clergymen to view things from a black man’s perspective, King build a more convincing argument that strengthen his case because the clergymen only sees the court as the rightful place in which blacks will gain their freedom and not by nonviolent protest which they see as “untimely.” Since African Americans are tired of waiting for that freedom time that never seem to come, King proclaim that the time for waiting

Foreman’s comments from the video presentation, ‘Approaching the Question of God’s Existence” is proposed to promote the idea of God’s existence and explains that there is only one answer and no other way that another answer is acceptable. The approach of some people is to use the arguments the wrong way or to use them to do things they are not designed to do which results in the arguments not working. The arguments are not to give one hundred percent proof of God’s existence, but to carry connotations of certainty and value of His existence in the proof. Foreman relates this to mathematics and how there can be only one answer because no other would work. God’s existence cannot be proved by that of a math problem or any

For many low-income Americans, the dialogue around health usually revolves around how accessible fresh food is to them. Gilligan’s article on Slate published on Feb 10th, 2014 purports that the problem does not lie with the so-called deserts. The argument presented by Gilligan assesses the validity of the claim that poor people are unhealthy because they do not have proper access to cheap, healthy food. It is not by getting more and more fresh food at low costs to these poor neighborhoods that people will become healthier but rather by assessing the poverty itself. Gilligan’s article is heavily factual and relies on statistical analysis to provide a clearer picture of the impact that more fresh food has had and sticks to a logical argument
